In this course consisting of 8 weekly 45 minute classes, we will create our own unique weird nature drawings. We will take inspiration from all the strange and wonderful things we see in our gardens everyday like flowers that look like dragons, plants that eat insects and more. Each session we will discuss a different variety of weird plant, draw it together and even invent our own strange species. This course is great for beginners as we will go through each step of the drawing together using some fun and easy drawing techniques such as using simple shapes to create form, drawing shadows and using colour. English language learners are encouraged to join as all of my classes are completely ESL friendly. All we need are some pencils, paper, a sharpener, an eraser and our fantastic imaginations!
